End of 2008-2009 Reading List Part 1
IN ORDER OF URGENCY:
The Art of Happiness At Work by The Dali Lama and Howard C. Cutler — a suggestion from my (second) Ethics teacher.
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon — a suggestion from Hope.
American Daughter by Wendy Wasserstein — I want to read this because I bet the lady turns down the position as surgeon general.
Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo
Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger — I want to read this because I haven’t. har.
Marley & Me by John Grogan — I saw this book a few weeks back at Barnes and Noble, I’ve been thinking about it ever since, I think that’s enough good reason to read it.
I Was Told There’d Be Cake by Sloane Crosley — Because it’s a collection of essays that I’m sure I’ll enjoy, especially once I move to New York, and especially because I’m entering my twenties, and especially because I’m sure I could pick it up and put it down and not forget anything and still be attracted to the larger story.
Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky — It’s about rational egoism, surely that’s relatable.
Alfred and Emily by Doris Lessing — Sounds like my (distant) family.
August: Osage County by Tracy Letts — A dark comedy, best play Tony in 08, produced by Steppenwolf, family tragedy. I feel obligated to read it. I’ve read and almost stage managed a Tracy Letts piece. I didn’t like the one I read. Also, I wanna read it before they turn it into a movie… ugh.
